Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the pizza base:
- 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, approx. 12-inch)
For the sausage gravy:
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the toppings:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (for scrambling eggs)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats.
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll or stretch the pizza dough out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with flour. Shape it into a 12-inch round, or your preferred shape.
- Make the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and crispy. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to coat the meat. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened and bubbly, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons milk. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, then scramble the eggs just until softly set (they will finish cooking in the oven). Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the scrambled eggs, then sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake: Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with green onions and parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a store-bought pizza crust for convenience, or make your own for a more homemade feel.
- Be careful not to overcook the scrambled eggs—they will continue to cook in the oven.
- Feel free to add cooked bacon or sautéed vegetables for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or regular oven for best results.
